其他摘要:In the present study, air quality analyses for sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) were conducted in Tehran, Capital of Iran. The measurements were taken in four different locations to prepare average data in the city. The averages concentrations were calculated for every 24 hours, each month and each season. Results showed that the highest concentration of sulfur dioxide occurs generally in the mid-night and beginning of morning while the least concentration was found at the afternoon. Monthly concentrations of the sulfur dioxide showed the highest value in August while the least value in April. The seasonal concentrations showed the least amounts in spring while the highest in summer. Then Relations between the air pollutant and some meteorological parameters were calculated statistically using the daily average data. The wind data (velocity, direction), relative humidity, temperature, sunshine periods, dew point and rainfall were considered as independent variables. The level relationships between concentration of pollutant and meteorological parameters were expressed by multiple linear and nonlinear regression equations for both annual and seasonal conditions using SPSS software. RMSE test showed that among different prediction models, stepwise model is the best option.
